hey y'all! i have been looking forward to this friday since the start of last week!
i love long weekends, and hope everyone has the day off on monday, and enjoys some quality time with a loved one on valentines day!!

my good friend bee is coming to visit from dc, and we can't wait to spend some quality time with him. he's a dear friend, and since we are now in atlanta, it's hard to really stay in touch especially since bee doesn't really do gchat or anything like personal email during the workday. even still, bee is the type of friend where we can go for months without talking and pick up right where we left off.

my run yesterday went really well y'all. i kept a steady pace throughout the whole 1.5 miles, and i ended up with a lower time than tuesday. y'all, this is really awesome for me! i am so excited to be able to lower it with just a small tweak in pace. it also allowed me to focus on my form and breathing, so i've decided that my focus for the month will be to continue to keep my form and breathing where i had it yesterday regardless of my time. i think with improving my form, my time will lower even more. this week didn't go as planned as far as meals were concerned, but i do feel that overall, my stomach is flatter (not by much, but still). i only went over my daily point allotment once this week, so hopefully when i weigh myself on tuesday morning, i will have lost. my fruit recommendation this week - grapefruit! i had one yesterday and it was tasty! i hear it helps with weight loss, so try it y'all!

on thursdays i attend a conference call for a project i'm working on currently, and the meetings start off with a quote that a selected person is supposed to provide...sort of to break the ice and ease into the meeting. y'all, i was selected for the quote for next week!!! what should i say??!!!
the only quote i can think of is "if you ain't first, ur last"- ricky bobby, talladega nights. needless to say, i'm probably not gonna use that one. what are some quotes that y'all like?
